Memorization and physical abilities decline with age?

[rovis77]

Have you noticed a decline in later age in your memorization and physical abilities at the piano like virtuosity, finger speed, reflexes, etc or it is still the same as when you were young?. Thanks

Much less decline than my speed at running 5 miles!

Not only that but we also get uglier with age.

I think you become more efficient with the way you learn and play but the actual raw physical ability you have definitely declines.  However at a much later age unlike basketball where you retire in your 30s
